Jason Derulo has admitted that he used to use his mum's car as a studio before he found fame.

The singer revealed that he would often be forced to retreat to the vehicle in order not to bother her with the noise as he recorded.

He told WENN: "I used to record in my mom's car because I didn't have anywhere else to record.

"I couldn't do it inside the house because I would have to keep the noise down if I did and I wanted to jam out. I would drive her car to a back alley and record it live there onto my computer. I had a microphone and the car was padded like a recording studio."

He added: "I needed an outlet to plug my equipment into, so a lot of times I would do it behind a Walmart or a large store. I recorded this one song, called 'Beautiful Ugly', which I still have on a CD somewhere."
